How many CALORIES in one meal is ok???

[shainesboostin]

Ok, so currently, on workout days, I am for 4k calories. I eat 5 meals a day, so that breaks down to 800cals per meal.

I have heard the body can only handle so many calories at a time. IE: 500ish? Is there any truth to this? Because, I also sometimes like to eat less cals at bed, so I may eat 1200CALS directly after working out, or eat more at breakfast. BUT, is that to many and just asking to be stored as fat?

Well, I write everything I eat, so should I post up a whole week? I do eat different items each day...

your type 1 diabetic.. whats your carb intake?? how much insulin do you use in a day?

 

[3J]

and just post up 2 training days worth of food so i can get an idea of what your doing

 

[shainesboostin]

your type 1 diabetic.. whats your carb intake?? how much insulin do you use in a day?

200-350 carbs depending, I usually use about 30 units of nolvalog (fast acting) total for the day, ever since I have been on igf anyways...before IGF it was more like 40 units per day.

I also take a basal aka (long acting) and was dosing at 30units daily, have now cut that to 20 units and BS levels are pretty good.

I will post up a week tonight, my log book is at home.

I work as an MA, so I am on my feet alot. And, do you think taking LESS insulin would mean LESS muscle? I hope that dosent sound stupid lol, I mean, I COULD take 50 units of long acting and just up the carbs...I know insulin is anabolic yet can store fat as well. I seriously research insulin ALL THE TIME, and its hard to understand.

Last thing, here is a pic of me 4-5 years ago, when first diagnosed with Type 1

Seems sad it took this long to make that kind of progress, I hope diabetes isnt working to hard against my goals....
